..."[T]he average professing Christian today has never come to see your disease of sin. You have never come to the knowledge of sin; you have never come to see yourself as an ungodly, wretched, miserable, poor, blind, naked, stripped, unclothed sinner, guilty before the Almighty God."
--L. R. Shelton, Sr., "Religiously Lost"

O woman! lovely woman! Nature made thee
To temper man: we had been brutes without you.
Angels are painted fair, to look like you:
There’s in you all that we believe of heaven,—
Amazing brightness, purity, and truth,
Eternal joy, and everlasting love.
--Thomas Otway, Venice Preserved, Act i. Sc. 1.

Ay me, how many perils doe enfold
The righteous man, to make him daily fall?
Were not, that heauenly grace doth him vphold,
And stedfast truth acquite him out of all.
Her loue is firme, her care continuall,
So oft as he through his owne foolish pride,
Or weaknesse is to sinfull bands made thrall:
Else should this Redcrosse knight in bands haue dyde,
For whose deliuerance she this Prince doth thither guide.
--Edmund Spenser (1552-1599), The Faerie Qveene, Book I, Cant. VIII, stanza 1.

"Manners are of more importance than laws. Upon them, in great measure, the laws depend. The law touches us but here and there, and now and then. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in. They give their whole form and color to our lives. According to their quality, they aid morals, they supply them, or they totally destroy them."
--Edmund Burke, in Letters on a Regicide Peace, I, 1796.
